Lyreco's Charity Program

Introducing 'Lyreco for Education'  Lyreco for Education Logo

 In 2008, in partnership with UNICEF, Lyreco supported the Early Learning for Development Program in Bangladesh which enabled more than 8,400 children to attend school at the age of 3. More than 100 teachers have also been trained and 50 early learning centres supported.

 In 2009 Lyreco will continue to support the education of children throughout the world with the launch of our very own charity program 'Lyreco for Education'.

'Lyreco for Education' aims to assist projects which improve education for children in developing countries, with a different country being selected every year.

 Our Mission

  • To help projects which are designed to improve education for children in developing countries.

Our Commitment

  • To support a project in a different country every year.
  • To carefully choose and support a Non Government Organisation (NGO) fully dedicated towards our cause.

In 2009 ‘Lyreco for Education' is proudly supporting the non government organisation Aide et Action (AEA), with an initiative called the Phu Luong Project situated in the Thai Nguyen district of Vietnam, where only 59% of children go to school and only 70% of classes are held in warehouses or at home.Lyreco for Education Map
